DR.. William NOyes, assistant physician
OF the Bloomingdale Insane asylum, OF
New York, read paper on ''The Grim
mai Type" 1t was devoted to a dis
cussion Of the theories regarding habitual
CRIMINALS of French and Italian ply
slclans, principally of those of Caesar
Lombroso, the eminent Italian scientist.
The argument of the paper was the ire
claimability of a certain class of criminals
owing to their being physically rs well as
mentally governed by criminal impulses.
he said that many researches abroad.
principally in Italy and France, seem to
show that there is a distinct class which
may be recognized by various bodily
anomalies as forming the chief of the
lower type of criminal. These anomalies
are principally malformation of the head
and face, but the other bodily organs also
show marked and easily recognizable
deviatiOns from the normal type. These
anomalies are on the whole such as are
found among the lower races and savages.
The writer traced the gradual evolution
OF crime in the animal kingdom and the
resemblance of the criminal acts of bears
to those of the lower order Of men. Grim
lnals, he said, differ from normal people
IN having smaller skulls, with less cranial
capacity. The angles and measurements
of the skull differ in a marked degree
from those of the normal man. There is a
preponderance Of left handed men among
criminals. As compared with other per
sons, three times as many male and four
times as many female criminals are ambi-
deXtrOus. The cOnvolutiOns of the brain
show marked degenerative characteristics,
and seem to be allied to the Mongol or
Australian type. Criminals also resemble
savages in the frequency with which they
are tattooed. Their writing shows
marked tendencies toward the use of HE
roglyphics. They are vain and revenge
full to an extent in excess of normal per
sons of similar social position. 1t would
be wise for the state, after they have once
committed crime and their irreclaimable
nature has been discovered, to imprison
them for life, thus protecting society from
their ravages.-New York Tribune.

mate, who hadn't two hours to live. af-
nXed his signature, and it was followed
ny Ihe name OF every man in the shin.
before noon he was dead, and after din
ner we buried all the bodies and made the
snip tidy. By mutual consent Ben was
made captain, and sailor named Jack
wonder was selected as mate. It WINS
our purpose to sail the ship back to GIas-
gov, and not man was allowed in the
cabin, nor were any of the stores dis
turbed, except the provisions. The signal
was Kept flying all day, but owing to the
calm we did not move half a mile. Just
at shutdown a steamer came I'D with M.
sent boat aboard, and when told of what
mad happened she put several men aboard
and got out a tow line and made fast to
us. 1t was thus we returned to port, and
the news OF our arrival and the mutiny
kicked up grand excitement We were
at once put under arrest, as we expected
10 DC, and Tor the first week or two all
the talk was to the effect that every man
of us would be hanged. It didn't seem
to occur to the people at large that we
could have any defense, and we were
condemned long enough before the trial
came on. The owners of the ship were
rich as well as penurious, and they wanted
us executed as warning to other sailors.
However, when the trial came on the gem
eral public got something to open their
eyes. Our lawyers had had the provisions
inspected by medical men, and had saved
samples for the jury. The medical zen
tlemen affirmed that no human stomach
could retain such provisions, and recon-
menGed that the owners be promptly
prosecuted. Then we had the name of
the mate to the statement Of facts. the
testimony Of the steward and cook. md it
was shown that we had set a signal and
behaved ourselves in an orderly way.
The case was decided in ten minutes.
and every man of us was set at liberty.
There was talk of suits against the ship
owners, but they sent an agent around To
each one of us with a $40 note, and we
made no move against them. Our trial
and the facts brought out brought to light
other facts, one of which was that British
sailors were treated worse than ours. and
were fed mostly on condemned stores. A
social and political agitation resulted. and
from 1t grew the government inspectors
and the laws which give Sailor Jack the
rights of human being. The move
which PlimsOll made against overlooking
was an OffshOOt Of our mutiny, and I have
heard it declared that our adventure was
the best thing that could have happened

Chauncey Depew woke up to fame in
London the other morning when he found
his name printed in the report of his ap.
pearing at the breakfast given by Cody
and Salisbury as ode Pew" He was par,
ticularly witty and happy when he was
called upon to talk, but he said nothing
that could be compared for one moment
with the fun Of the speech that was made
to him privately after the breakfast was
over. Every one knows how serious, dis
NAL and funereal are all the English ora
tors at their public feasts. This particular
Englishman was delighted with Mr.. De-
pew's talk. He came up to the silver
tongued candidate for the next presiden-
tial nomination, and said: ooh, I beg your
pardon; but must tell you how pleased
was with your speech. Such wit and
rare humOr surely proves, Mr.. Depew,
that you have common ancestry with
the orators Of England" At the break
fast Mr.. Depew was taken for an English
man by one Of the Wild West walters.
When the apple pie was served Mr.. De-
pew looked at it curiOusly and asked:
What is this? Is this an Indian dishy'
The waiter was prompt with information
